crisis at this year's g-20 summit, one has overshadowed the rest. the civil war in syria. president obama will meet mete with the chinese president to discuss a way to ease bashar alassad out of power and end the violence that has gripped the country for more than a year. china and russia have resisted the idea and have been the two key obstacles to international intervention in syria. effectively using their veto power to block u.n. security council votes that would authorize any action. in a two-hour meeting yesterday, president obama and russian president vladimir putin agree that the violence has to end but offered no solution as to how that would happen, and they did not discuss the fate of syrian president assad, whose removal has been called the only way forward by america and many of its european allies. >> we discussed syria, where we agree that we need to see a cessation of the violence, that a political process has to be

created to prevent civil war and the kind of horrific deaths that we've seen over the last several weeks, and we pledge to work with other international actors, including the united nations and all interested parties in trying to find a resolution to this problem. >> the body language, by the way, between the two presidents, noticeably chilly, stiff. both leaders sitting back in their chairs, rarely making eye contact, not smiling, sharing only a terse handshake at the end. it was their first face to face meeting in three years, as chuck todd pointed out, it was a stark contrast to the relationship between president obama and putin's predecessor, often seen chatting and laughing together. that has been your body language analysis this morning on "way too early." the white house warned not to read too much into the men's relationship.

>> this isn't the first body language will have gate that we've had with the russians. president medvedev, who president obama has a great relationship with there was a similar report that there was this body language and must be a huge problem. these are business-like conversations between the united states goth and the russian government. so they're candid and business-like. that tends to be the demeanor of the russians. >> despite the white house claims, there was a noticeable change. putin and george w. bush often collegial towards each other. they went fishing together. none of that compares to president bush's declaration in 2001 that he looked putin in the eye and "was able to get a sense of his soul." while all was going on yesterday, there were reports

that russia has begun deploying warships in its naval base in syria. turn now to politics. the supreme court's ruling on arizona's controversial immigration laws expect to be handed dmo eed down in the next so. florida senator marco rubio believed to be on mitt romney's short list for vice president is now dropping his immigration plan after being up staged by the president on friday. president obama announced an order to stop deporting thousands of illegal immigrants brought to the united states as children. rubio's proposal would grant work visas to illegal immigrants brought into the country as children if they later served in the military or pursued an education. yesterday, rubio and mitt romney both suggesting that politics got in the way of a delicate situation. >> if you even suggest that you have an illegal immigration problem, if you're a republican, oftentimes the left will label you as anti-immigrant. this idea that this is a slam

dunk issue, that it's easy, is just not true. on the one hand, we do have a significant illegal immigration problem. it has to be confronted. it has to be solved. we cannot be the only country in the world that does not enforce its immigration laws. on the other hand, we have some very compelling stories. it feels weird to deport a valedictorian who's been here since 4 years old. what the president did by ignoring the constitution, ignoring the congress makes it harder to find that balance. not to mention that it's offensive to the constitutional principles of our republic. >> he went to work on obamacare and on cap and trade and on car check and he went after all the things that he and his liberal friends have been trying to do for years. he had talked about in a campaign, remember, he was all concerned about the deficit. he said he would cut the deficit in half. have you heard him talk about the deficit or balancing the budget in three and a half years? i haven't. he was going to deal with immigration, he said, in his first year, he was going to

focus on that. did he do anything on immigration while he had a democratic house and senate? no. this is a president who has said one thing and done another. i've got to tell you, we're going to have a very different course. because the path he's taken us on is a path towards europe. >> interesting note from the campaign yesterday. senator john kerry has been tapped to play the role of mitt romney in a series of mock debates to help president obama prepare for romney. david axelrod called kerry an obvious choice saying "there is no one who has more experience or understanding of the presidential debate process than john kerry." kerry apparently picked in part because of his knowledge of the state of massachusetts and an intimate knowledge of romney's record there. kerry is considered a skilled debater and helped ted kennedy defeat mitt romney in a massachusetts senate race in 1994. turning to egypt where a power struggle is under way just one day after the muslim brotherhood declared victory in this weekend's presidential

elections. mohammed morsi is facing fierce competition from the military, hesitant to hand over power. richard engel has more. >> the muslim brotherhood has reason to celebrate. their man has been elected egypt's next president, according to multiple counts. and he is expected to usher in fundamental change for this country of 90 million. he wants to impose islamic law, limit the rights of women. his party is not pro-american, as mubarak was for decades, and he is fiercely anti-israel. morsi quickly declared victory, promising to reach out to all egyptians. but he faces a battle for power with the military, which will not give up without a fight. the ruling military council made a preemptive strike, eliminating the new president's powers to

declare war, control the army, or replace its leaders. the reaction was this. >> people love mohammed morsi. >> a crowd of supporters in tahrir square. a movement began offering thanks in prayer, and opposing the military decree. this celebration has been a long time coming. for decades, the muslim brotherhood was banned in this country, its leaders arrested. but now the muslim brotherhood appears to have won egypt's presidentsy. it is a nightmare for this country's second lair military, an experiment in political islam that could now spread from here in tahrir square across the middle east. a prospect that frightens a tour operator passing through the square. >> for me, today, egypt has sent a bad message for all the world that we go back 100 years, 200 years. >> reporter: many other egyptians are equally nervous. >> i don't believe that is a

good mix between ideas from god and ideal democracy. >> that's richard engel reporting for us this morning from cairo. today the muslim brotherhood planning a massive rally in tahrir square to protest the military's attempt to hold on to power. still ahead here on "way too early", the government looks like a light hitting second baseman standing in the box against roger clemens as it strikes out completely in its long, expensive attempt to convict him of lying to congress. details ahead in sports. plus, stephen colbert shows his fake solidarity with the daily caller reporter who shouted his question at president obama. that when "way too early" comes right back. just two days ago, the world champion celtics used their

welcome back to "way too early." the sun sup, as you can see in that live picture, over new york city. let's get a check on your weather from bill karins. >> i think i'm in a little bit of denial about this heat wave coming to the northeast. >> someone said triple digits thursday. >> they were just being an alarmist. >> coming off the asphalt in new york, it will feel like it. >> the temperature is always taken in the shade. if you're in the sun -- >> why would you do that? we don't need to get too deep into this. >> we'll have to nauk the break. good morning, everyone. here's what we're dealing with

this morning. trouble travel spot has to deal with the minneapolis area. we have a little bit of light rain from rochester to bing hampton. the heat, yesterday was it was 108 in nebraska. all that hot air that's been out there -- even denver was 100 yesterday -- is now going to start spreading to the ohio valley. it's going to continue very hot today. 95 in chicago. just starting the warm things up. d.c. getting up into the mid to upper 80s. boston and new york holding on to one more day of these coolish type temperatures, and then you'll really notice things getting hot into wednesday. boston hasn't even had a day in the 90s yet and we're expecting 98 degrees in boston for your wednesday. the humidity will be a touch high, too. areas like kansas city will begin to cool off along with denver, and then we really are going to watch day -- day two

was always the dangerous day because you don't get overnight lows to cool you off. day two, we start worrying about the elderly. i wasn't talking about you, barnacle. 96 also in boston. you get the picture, willie. we get a break as we go through friday. >> wow. >> i don't mean to joke around about the dangerous heat. >> terrible human being. poor mike barnacle. to sports now. after two days of deliberation, a jury in washington acquitted roger clemens of all charges that he lied to congress during a 2008 inquiry about his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. clemens maintained then and does today that he has never used steroids or human growth hormone. after the not guilty verdicts were read, the seven-time cy young award-winner spoke outside the courthouse. >> i put a lot of hard work into that career, and so again, i appreciate my teammates that came in and all the e-mails and

phone calls. from my teammates. >> yesterday's verdict marked the federal government's second failed attempt to convict clemens on perjury charges in the five-year investigation and resulting trial cost the government and the taxpayers $10.5 million. this is not the first costly defeat for the u.s. government. prosecutors faced similar difficulty miss the trial against barry bonds which yielded just one conviction on obstruction of justice while cost millions more in money. federal investigators dropped a two-year-long criminal investigation against lance armstrong in february, though the u.s. anti-doping agency announced new charges against him last week. roger clemens has now been legally exonerated but it remains to be seen whether yesterday's verdict will be enough to convince hall of fame voters of clemens' innocence. bill madden of the "new york daily news" writes this morning we'll see off this acquittal if clemens will be able to get past this clause on the hall of fame ballot about sportsmanship and

integrity. i can't speak for my brethren, but i take that clause seriously and i'll vote accordingly. if you want he to vote for them sheerly because they reached hall of fame numbers, then take the clause out of the ballot. both roger clemens and barry bonds are eligible for the hall of fame for the first time this december, though clemens was named 82 times in congress's mitchell report on steroid use in baseball, he never tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in his career. the new york yankees hosting the braves last night. sixth inning, mark teixeira from the right side hits a solo home run, helps the yankees to their tenth consecutive win, the second longest winning streak for the yankees since the divisional era began in 1969. the mets at home facing the orioles. r.a. dickey coming off a one-hitter in his last start. maybe should have been a

told you at the top of the show that a day after trying to twist vladimir putin's arm on syria, president obama will meet today at the g-20 summit in mexico with the chinese

president to discuss the effort to remove president assad from power. china along with russia has resisted international intervention in syria and may use veto power to block any u.n. action there. if you want to sound smart today, tell your friends that since china returned to the u.n. in 1971, it's used only veto powers eight times in the security council, but two of those eight votes have involved syria. the first syria-related veto came in 2011 when china blocked sanctions and the most recent was in february of this year when china vetoed a draft resolution supporting political transition in syria. enough of the real news. let's huddle up around the watercooler to watch the first lady of the united states doing a little double dutch on national tv. yes, michelle obama was on with kelly ripa yesterday promoting her new book about eating well, gardening and all that business. but then she popped out and surprised the carrie, north carolina, wmca super skippers jump rope team and showing some skills, jumping in on the double dutch. she's really good.

look at that. how long do you think she practiced for that beforehand? this is not the first time by the way that the first lady has shown her moves. last may she surprised students with a visit to promote the let's move campaign doing the dougie. there's a lit running man and some cha-cha to beyonce. the first lady of the united states can move. last night, stephen "colbert report"ed neil monroe, he interrupted to ask a question and was scolded by the president. here's stephen colbert fake coming to his aid. >> the president was interrupted during the announcement of his new policy that. was conservative blogger neal monroe. everyone who was there thought that speech was over, including me. full disclosure, i am a member of the white house press corps. technically the white house press corps reserves.
